Among  the  speciinoiis  of  this  group,  in  the  Museum  of 
tlic  Poiihody  Aeiiileniy  of  Science,  tire  several  .species  which 
occur  frequently  in  New  England,  tuul  are  so  well  marked 
that  I  have  ventiu'cd  to  descrihe  them,  without  waiting  for 
more  material  from  other  localities. 

I  am  uniil)le,  so  far  in  my  studies  on  this  group,  to  find 
liny  valid  characters  sepaniting  the  "Pliycidie"  from  the 
family  Pyralidte,  whether  we  regard  the  larval  or  imaginal 
characters.  They  seem  to  me  to  be  intimately  related  on 
one  hand  to  the  lower  Pyralids,  such  as  15otys  and  Scopula, 
and  on  the  other  to  the  Crambi.  Certainly  the  "Phycidtc" 
should  not  raidi  as  ti  family,  but  ttdic  their  place  as  a  sub- 
ordinate group.

$,•10  of  an  inch.     Orono.  Maine.     (Packard.) 

This  species  is  at  once  recoirnized  by  tin'  broad  briiilit-red  'cansxcise 
.stripe  inst  within  the  middle  of  ilie  wini;.  This  stripe  varies  nmcli.  beinu; 
somelinu'S  not  presem.  iit  others  not  reachinji  the  costal  edire.  In  one 
additional  siiecimen  from  Maine,  llie  fore  wing  has  scattered  reddisJi 
scales  at  base  and  licyoiul  the  middle,  while  tlie  dark  transverse  stripe  is 
wantinj;,  and  the  red  portion  forms  ;i  l)road  trmisverse  lu'iulit-red  l)and. 
The  larva  lives  in  Jnno  and  early  in  .Tiily  between  the  leaves  of  the  alder, 
where  it  makes  a  horn  shaped  case  of  black  cylindrical  pellets  of  excre- 
ment, arran^a'd  regnlarly  in  circles,  the  additions  behif;  nuide  aronnd  the 
month  of  the  ease.  The  ease  is  about  an  inch  and  a  half  lonn:;  its  month 
a  (luartcr  of  an  inch  in  diameter.  Witliin  it  is  densely  lined  with  white 
silk.  The  pupa  is  of  the  usual  color,  maho,u;any  brown,  the  end  of  the 
abdomen  rounded,  with  six  liairs  project iiiu  from  a  transverse  siipraanal 
projecting  ridge.  On  each  abdominal  segment  is  a  dorsal  dnsky  trans- 
^orse  stripe,  widest  on  the  basal  segment.  The  larva  was  not  descril)ed 
in  my  notes.  The  pupa  state  lasts  about  two  weeks,  tlie  moth  which  1 
reared  ai)pearing  July  24lli,  the  larva  having  been  found  July  Otli. 

Tlie  Mnsenin  of  the  Peabody  Academy  of  Science  also  contains  ten 
spoeiinens  of  this  moth  reared  by  Mr.  J.  II.  Emerton.  The  larvie  were 
found  fe.-'ding  on  tlie  Sweet  Fern  {('mnptoma  aitph'nifdJi't  Ait.),  July  7, 
180G,  at  Hamilton,  Mass..  the  moth  appearing  July  L'Olli.  The  case  is 
quite  dill'erent  in  form  from  tlial  previously  described,  being  legulariy 
oval  cylindrical;  -S")  inch  long  and  -33  inch  in  diameter.  It  is  con- 
structed in  the  same  manner  as  those  found  on  the  alder.  This  striking 
difl'erence  in  the  form  of  the  case  may  possibly  be  due  to  the  ditl'erence  in 
tlie  form  of  the  leaves  of  the  food  jdant,  the  large  broad  leaves  of  the 
alder  inducing  the  larva  to  build  a  horn-like,  much  elongated  case ;  while 
the  narrow  smaller  leaves  of  the  Sweet  Fern  may  have  leil  to  the  forma- 
tion of  a  short,  oval  case.    These  ditt'erences  are  such  as  we  would  ordin

than  usual.  Head  iiud  palpi  reddish.  Costa  of  fore  wings  conspicuously 
white,  the  band  not  reaching  tlic  apex,  the  rest  of  the  wing  dull  roseutc ; 
Inner  edge  whitl.sh.  the  band  not  reaching  the  Inner  angle.  Hind  wings 
wliitisli.  Beneath  fore  wing.-,  a  little  dusky;  hind  wings  same  as  aDovc. 
Two  hind  pairs  of  legs  redilisli  externally. 

Length  of  fore  wing  -37  of  an  Inch.  Dorchester,  Mass.  (F.  (i.  San- 
born). 

In  one  specimen  the  roseate  color  on  the  wings  lias  apparently  faded 
out  into  a  pale  drab,  but  the  head  is  red.  Though  the  amennn3  are  with- 
out the  usual  tuft  of  scales,  and  the  jialpl  are  longer  than  usual,  I  should 
judge  that  it  was  a  Ncphopteryx.

apccioH  from  Liiphmil,  tliroiiyli  (Ik!  kiiuliiess  of  J)r.  StMiiiliiiLtcr,  and

posed, with  Dr.  Stiiudiii^'er  (Cutalo;,'.,  cle.)  and  llirr  Milselilor,  to  refer 
my  iSroimld  i/hirialin  (I.  c.  51')  to  tlic  aliuve  sj)eeies. 

Jly  specinuns  (liil'i'r  from  tlie  two  otlii'rs,  in  Ixin;;  paler  in  the  ndddlc  of 
the  fore  win,y;s,  with  the  outer  lino  eonseqiienlly  much  more  distini't.  Oil 
the  under  fide  the  same  lino  is  repeated  with  more  distinetness,  while  the 
Ave  hlaek  c(j>tal  .si)ols  are  smaller  and  eonseiiuently  farther  apart  than  in 
tho  Lapland  e.\ani[iles.  Otherwise  the  species  agree  with  those  from 
Lapland.

S.  V.  I  fear  Ilcrr  Mi'iscliler  has  been  inislftl  by  my  doubtful  ret'ereuee  of 
this  species  to  I'.udorea.  Havin;;  since  received  four  speelim.'US  from 
Lapland  and  Iceland,  of  Pnnpelia  fiisca  (Ilaworth),  I  find  that  my  speci- 
mens belonj?  undoubtedly  to  that  species.  I  have  also  specimens  from 
Orono,  Augusta  and  lirunswiek,  Maine,  captured  in  July  and  August. 
These  dilfcr  in  no  resi)ect  from  tho  Labrador  and  European  examples.

the  identity  of  this  form  with  S.  ccnturicUa,  I  should  hesitate  to  decide 
until  I  have  speclmeus  from  Europe  with  which  to  compare  my  example.
